I pulled the plug at 55. We guys on fixed incomes have to be cheap.
I'm not really cheap, I'm thrifty, I recycle to save the planet.
I only shoot ducks at 20 yds or less so I don't use many shells.
I only fish with sparkle beetles cause they are only $1.49 for 8. Used to be $.99
I don't replace all of the fishing line on my reels only the last 50 yds that I use.
I wash out the old zip locks that held fish in the freezer and use them for tackle bags, the residual smell acts as an attractant.
I never throw a cast net away, I just keep repairing them until I get holes in the holes then I make sinkers out of the weights and tie downs out of the ropes.
Before I put anything in the trash, I take all the screws off it and cut off the cords for reuse. I do have some pride, I don't dumpster dive, normally I have enough junk of my own.
